Can a temporary position make a permanent impact?

About Us

PG&E’s Hiring Hall Administration Team partners with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1245 and the Engineers & Scientists of California (ESC) Local 20 to fill temporary jobs at PG&E. Most of the positions filled through the Hiring Hall require a pre-employment test and/or resume. If a pre-employment test is required, you may need to be qualified prior to signing up with the union (applies only to IBEW).

Positions commonly filled through Hiring Hall include:

IBEW Clerical: Operating Clerk, Utility Machine Operator, Service Representative

IBEW Physical: Utility Worker, Materials Handler, Lineman

ESC Technical: Mapping Technician, Field Engineer Technician, Engineering Estimator and New Business Representative

IBEW

Once you’ve passed PG&E’s pre-employment tests, you can request an application for temporary work with IBEW Local 1245. The same tests for Permanent Work with PG&E will qualify you for Temporary Work with the Hiring Hall. You may request an application by email. Please include your name, phone number and list which tests you have passed. Our application process is done electronically, so there’s no need to come into our office.

ESC

After you visit our site and fill out and return an application, you may be required to pass the necessary PG&E tests for that position (typically offered quarterly). Additional information is available by calling (510) 238-8320 and selecting option 1.
